WARNING (CONTINUED)
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless the wheelchair is fully
open.
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater
than 9°.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil
film.
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause
your wheelchair to tip over and cause bodily harm to you or damage to
the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the
seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your
center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are
reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.
WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving
wheelchair with the wheel locks.
DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious
bodily injury may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precau-
tion should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters paral-
lel to the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from
the wheelchair, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized
by Invacare.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheel-
chair may result in injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the
wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the
wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the
HANDRIMS are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or
without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the
handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
